So, I think we can all agree last year was a complete right off. However, here’s hoping that 2021 is the year we get our lives back together. With the announcement of lockdown 3.0, that time might be a little further away than we first thought, but the likes of Toby & Pip have given us a reason to stay positive.

Their new single ‘New Year’ encompasses the joy of having one another in our lives. Now, granted it might sound a little soppy, but it is a brilliant, heartfelt song.

The London based folk-pop duo are also a married couple. Like one half of ABBA or Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, they’ve added their names to the list of songwriting couples. However, I’m sure this marriage is far stronger than the others in the list.

The pair draw on their backgrounds in classical music; their love of cheesy pop, classic rock and folk music. Don’t ask me how it works, but it definitely does. ‘New Year’ is the third single from this truly unique duo and it doesn’t disappoint.

As the tune begins, we’re greeted to some calm, relaxing acoustic guitar melodies performed by Toby. Immediately, you get the sense this song is one to really take in and listen to the meanings behind the lyrics.

With his soothing, rich voice Toby allows the listener to do just that. I’ve only ever heard one other singer with a similar style, making me wonder if Toby was the front man for Nizlopi on their hit single ‘JCB’ before he teamed up with Pip!

Admittedly, that might be a stretch, but if it’s true then I like him even more. Just to clarify, it has nothing to do with the fact I’m called Luke…..well, maybe a little.

Not to be outdone, Pip comes in with some brilliant harmonising tones, allowing their voices to bounce off one another.

The differentiating deep and high tones in the pair’s voices marry perfectly in the song, just like the acoustic guitar and ukulele combo. Again, don’t ask how it works, it just does.

My favourite part of the song has to be the lyrics themselves however. They’re incredibly heartfelt and definitely something any listener can relate to.

Coupled with the stripped back nature of the song, everything boils down to simple components and beautifully played stringed instruments. On the surface, this appears a very basic tune, but the interwoven meaning behind it elevates the track to something far more.

Nick Shane’s talent not only perpetuates this legacy but elevates it through his relentless dedication to live performances.

Before the full album’s release, four singles, including the celebrated title track “FEVERLAND,” were introduced, with the track “Long Brown Hair” gaining visual acclaim through its official music video in November 2024. Each release further underscores The NSA’s artistic depth and Shane’s exceptional ability to transform unfinished fragments into cohesive brilliance.

“FEVERLAND”: A Resurgence from The NSA Slated for May 2025 Release

The long-awaited second album from Scottish Mod/Punk ensemble The NSA, entitled “FEVERLAND,” is poised for release in May 2025. This moment marks a significant milestone for the band, whose efforts between 2013 and 2015 laid the groundwork for an album that would remain dormant until now. Under the guidance of former frontman Nick Shane, “FEVERLAND” has been expertly mastered for its impending debut.

Having initially captivated audiences with their debut album, “TV & Sunshine” in 2014, The NSA swiftly embarked on crafting a follow-up. However, the band disbanded before completion of the project, leaving its future uncertain. A decade later, Nick Shane has taken decisive action to honor and preserve the band’s unfinished work, resulting in the revival and eventual release of these pivotal recordings.

Comprising nine tracks characterized by raw, guitar-driven vigor, “FEVERLAND” eloquently encapsulates the mod-inspired hooks and sharp indie-rock rhythms that epitomized Scotland’s underground scene in the early 2010s. During their active years, The NSA emerged as influential figures within the Mod/Casual movement, and their impact endures through Nick Shane’s continued live performances.

Prior to the full album release, four eagerly awaited singles, including the eponymous track “FEVERLAND,” were unveiled, culminating in a late 2024 release. Additionally, an official music video for “Long Brown Hair” debuted in November 2024, offering a visual testament to the band’s enduring artistry.

Nick Shane’s stewardship of this project not only revives the legacy of The NSA but also reinvigorates their contribution to the music scene. As the release of “FEVERLAND” approaches, anticipation builds for a work that promises to resonate deeply with both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
